Great views are the rewards that you reap for the punchy, technical climbs, rock gardens, and step-up/drop off ledges of Delberts. Surface is mixed, with quite a few loose, rocky sections.

Delberts Connects Powerline to Chamisoso and FR 462. Begins at the rotted-out Ford Ranger on Powerline. The first 2.9 mi, before the intersection with Chamisoso, is predominantly downhill, but tough and remote. The climb out (1.2 mi from Chamisoso to FR462) is more well-traveled, but still fun and challenging. Trail ends at intersection with FR 462, between Coyote and Mighty Mule.

      Everyone complaining about motos… it’s a usfs designated moto trail on the mvum. If it’s that bad consider looking into local trail agencies for a chance to pick up a shovel. Or maybe throw a leg over a moto for a seemingly badly needed smile on your face Wink

      Ruined! The trail has been destroyed by motorcyclists. These guys are terrible riders and cant negotiate a bicycle trails so half the time are off the trail. Trail is all rubble, fist sized rocks thrown in middle trail by lousy mx riders. Torn up n unrideable in places, slow in others. Every rock feature is now wher mx got stuck n dug deep ruts trying to drive over it. Benchcuts are pushed down the hill bc mx riders constantly run off the trail. Mx riders know one technique: pin throttles wide open. Get rid of them. All trails scuk now. Just matter of time before who park is in ruin. When mx riders ruin one trail they go looking for fresh mtb trails to ruin. I’ll nvr come back!

      Do reviews get purged after a few years? This was a cool trail some 7 years ago or so n I left review.... Not for all, not for most, is a techy trail, so advanced riders will love, beginners hate. Go down only.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
